Variables into URL ?

[ncorrieri]

hey all - quick question, im sure a stupid one, but could use a hand nonetheless

 

Page process

 

Form > Post to submit page that posts to db > redirects user to 3rd page

 

Looking to take the variables sent submit page and put them into the link going to 3rd page. currently, it looks like this

 

<?
require_once("config.php");
require_once("mail.php");


$data = $_POST;
$data['dob'] = "$data[dobYYYY]-$data[dobMM]-$data[dobDD]";
$t = "registration";
$q = " INSERT INTO $t (`id`,`prefix`,`suffix`,`fname`,`lname`,`gender`,`dob`,
	`address1`,`address2`,`city`,`state`,`email`,`areacode`,
	`regtime`,`ipaddress`,`offer`,`affiliate`,`subaffiliate`)
	VALUE (	null,[prefix],[suffix],[fname],[lname],[gender],[dob],
	[address1],[address2],[city],[state],[email],
	[areacode],NOW(),[ipaddress],[offer],[affiliate],[subaffiliate])";
foreach ($data as $key => $value)
{
	$value = "'".mysql_real_escape_string($value)."'";
	$q = str_replace("[$key]",$value,$q );	
}				

mysql_query($q);
send_mail($data);
?>
Submit data and redirecting...
<script>document.location="<?=$forward_url?>"</script>

 

 

 

 

 

 

... so how would we be able to put specific values into the forwarded url location

 

Replacing "<?=$forward_url?>" with example

 

"page3.php?fname=Variable1&lname=Variable2"

 

 

so would i need to include that in the <?php> tag? and how do i break up the URL i am forwarding to?

 

and how would i insert variables from the above code, would it be simply [fieldname] or would i need to do .$_POST[fieldname]. or do i need to put single quotes around it? like ..

 

"http://ww.page.com/page.php?field1=" '.$_POST[fname].' "&field2=" '.$_POST[lname].' "

 

 

and am i doing that right?

 

 

god i feel silly askign these

if you have already created the variables then use them

 

<?php
// all your stuff minus any html stuff, everything inside php tags

header( 'Location: ../../../../index.php?field1='.$variable1.'&field2='.$varaiable2);

?>

the data's being sent to page as post (as in the brackets in the insert into mysql command, so how does that work, variable is $data right now on this page, but fields/data being posted to page names are

,[prefix],[suffix],[fname],[lname],[gender],[dob],

[address1],[address2],[city],[state],,

[areacode],[ipaddress],[offer],[affiliate],[subaffiliate]

 

 

Should i just do

 

'.$_POST(prefix).' to pass the prefix value?

$_POST['prefix'] not $_POST(prefix). so you would do something like this:

 

<form action="page2.php" method="POST">
Variable 1: <input type="text" name="var1"><br>
Variable 2: <input type="text" name="var2"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="go">
</form>
[code=php:0]

then on page2.php:

[code=php:0]
$var1 = $_POST['var1'];
$var2 = $_POST['var2'];

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` (`var1`,`var2`) VALUES ('{$var1}', '{$var2}')");
header("Location: page3.php?var1={$var1}&var2={$var2}");

 

then on page3.php:

 

$var1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];

echo "Variable 1 was {$var1} and Variable 2 was {$var2}";
